Colombo’s most meaningful community market, The Aluth Pola, returns on Sunday, 23 November, from 10:00 am. to 6:00 pm. at Body Bar, No. 3, Jawatte Avenue, Colombo 05—and this year, its purpose is more urgent than ever.

In the last decade, streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+ and Disney+ have completely transformed how we consume our daily entertainment. Gone are the days of waiting in front of the TV every day for the next episode of a favourite show to air. Now, entire seasons drop at once, inviting us to press play until the familiar “Are you still watching?” message appears on the screen the moment you stop. What started as a modern lu

You know that stage when your heart starts racing every time your situationship texts ’’hey’’? When your brain basically turns into a dopamine smoothie and you forget to eat because you’re too busy thinking about them? Yeah, that’s not just a vibe...that’s biochemistry.

I recently spent a half day in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, Kandy, which was my first visit. Appalling, considering I’ve lived in Sri Lanka for more than twenty-two years. More surprising with a holiday home in Victoria, forty-five minutes from Kandy. I’ve likely been to or through Kandy 120 plus times. So, in the company of three ladies, two Sri Lankans and one Australian, collectively known as ’’Charlie’s Angels’’, arrive at the g
